City Council met in its new Chambers ou the lirst floor of tlie Music Hall block on Monday evening, Aid. Barber and Nichol being absent. City Clerk Foley occupied his position for the first time. Before confirming the minutes of the previous meeting, the mayor questioned the clerk relative to his application for the combined offices, as to how much each individual ofliee was worth. Mr. Foley stated he was not prepared to answer just on thc moment. Aid. Bradshaw thought the ques- tions out of order. The mayor (stated the previous resolution of the council combining: all the offices was out of order, especially as to tendering for She position of police magistrate. The latter appointment was a prerogative of the lieutenoiit governor alone. A heated discussion ensued between the mayor and Aid. Bradshaw on thisi subject. 1 Aid.

HROWS'S LAST TRIP. A Hard Journey Into the Little Slocan Country. Mnxv Heckmann and the late "Cnyuso" Brown recently made a tough prospecting trip to the headwaters of the Little Slocan river. They were two weeks mn king the trip from here and were in rain or snow evcrv dav. Added to this all their supplies gave out save a little salt and for a weekthey had nothing but porcupine, goat and deer to eat. Thev found numerous indications of copper nnd iron, but no galena. The formation of the country is granite and lime and would be easy to work. The main stream is about 40 miles long from the Little Slocan lakes and takes a sweep to thc north, the headwaters being close to those of one OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SUBSTANTIAL S-HOWINO MADE THIS DIVISlfUN.

He straightened up and listened for a moment. His mouth slightly parted; his lips half closed. He crept nearer the window and leaned on the spade. For fully ten minutes he scarcely moved. A dark scowl crossed his lace and lingered there. The tramp was tattered and torn, and his face was inflamed, and his eyes were bleary, but there was still a heart beneath his soiled and ragged coat, and that heart had been won by kindness. When he came limping up to tbe farmhouse that morning, the farmer had looked at him askance, and the farmer's dog had blinked up at his master as if awaiting the word to hustle the stranger down the lane. And then the farmer's wife had come to thc door, a gentle faced woman with a soft voice, and she listened to his story and brought him bread and meat and told him to rest in the shade of the apple tree. And somehow the gentle faced woman reminded him of the mother whose precepts he bad disregarded and whose heart he had broken, and such a lump had risen in his throat that for a time he found it quite Impossible to eat. And when he finally disposed of the food and drank a cnp of water from the cool depths of the ancient well he wandered down to a little brook that flowed in the ravine that skirted the orchard and bathed his face and bands and straightened his tangled hair. Then he came back to the house and, rapping at the door, asked the gentle faced woman if sbe had any work he could do. "Art still here?" she asked in a soft wolce. "I thongbt thee had gone." "I'm still here," said the tramp, as he' drew his tattered hat from his head. "I have a chronic way of wearing out my welcome. But if you have any work to do that will enable me to pay for the food jou gave me. I'm in the humor to do it." She looked at him a little doubtfully and read the secret of his downfall in his fiery visage and softly sighed. "What I gave thee, 1 gave willingly," she said, " and without thought of recompense. But if thee Is really in earnest about desiring work, thee can take the spade that leans against the well box yonder and spade np my flower bed here." The tramp replaced his hat and found the spiide and set to work. And while he was working he heard the sound of wheels, and looking through the Tines at the house corner saw a horse and light wagon stop in front of the farm house. Presently a mnn came up the pathway—a man of light build, with tirigbt eyes and a heavy black mustache. Be was dressed In a rather extreme style, and even the tramp—who was once a gentleman himself—knew that this was not a gentleman. Presently tbe farmer, busy In the barn, Iras summoned to the house by his wife's call. It was nearly a half hour later that tbe tramp beard the loud voices within. It was the voice of the farmer that was raised. "You got that note by a scoundrel trick I" be cried. "Your partner asked me to sign an order tor ten bushels ot Belgian oats, and now you say I signed a note—a note for $7001 God, man! It would ruin me to pay It!" "It's for value received all right enough," said the stranger In a cool, even voice. "I don't know anything about your signing it, but tbe signature is yours •nd that's all we care to know. If yon refuse payment, we will simply have to eue and sell you out" The tramp listening at the window coulsl hear tbe farmer pacing heavily np •nd down the room, and he thought that he heard the farmer's wife sobbing. "I'll gee a lawyer," aaid the farmer doggedly. "Certainly." sa'd the stranger. "See him, and he'll tell you fast enough that there's no help for you. No, my man, you are In for lt Better sell something •nd settle." "I'll see a lawyer," groaned the farmer. "Very well." said the stranger. "We •re disposed to be as lenient as possible. See your lawyer, and If you are not willing to pay up promptly wben I come for satisfaction day after tomorrow, at this hour. why. we will bave to commence •nit. Good day." The tramp beard the door open and peering through the vines saw the stranger walking leisurely down the pathway. Then he turned and rapped at tbe door. Tbere were tears In her eyes as the farmer's wife opened It. "Madam," said the tramp, "I have re- considered my willingness to spade up your flower bed. There's your spade." And before she could reply be hnd turned snd was walking quickly along tha lane that led to tbe woods. As soon as he was ont of sight of the house he broke Into s run. Just before be entered the woods he looked <ver bis shoulder and •aw the stranger leisurely driving along tbe road below. The tramp knew that the rond over which the stranger was driving dipped to tbe left to cross the little ravine nmi then wound round tbe Wsu.JS to the right In a long curve. lie knew be had plenty of time to cut itemes an 1 reach tho roud before the stranger and bis deliberate horse arrived. Tbe tramp, familiar with human deception In many forms, knew all about the particular system of swindling of which tha farmer waa the victim. It was an easy game when played by a clever ".harper on an unsuspecting and unsophisticated countryman. All lt required was a glib tongue, a little flattery, a pretended business mission and a substituted sheet of paper. Then in due time came the confederate with his bold front and the fatal note. The tramp was lurking by tbe roadside as the man In the light wagon caste up. He lounged out into the highway. "Hello, Bill," he said. The driver drew up suddenly and stared at tbe figure at the horse's bead. "What's that?" he cried. "It's your name,"* laughed thc tramp. "Bill—Bill Sutherland, sometimes called •the Gopher.* How are you, Bill?" The stranger scowled darkly. "What do you mean?" he snarled. "I don't know you." "Glad of that, Bill," said the vagabond. "Three years of tramping change a man. But I know you, and that's enough." "What do you want?" growled the stranger. "BUI," said the tramp, "I want a little assistance. You might not think it. but I'm hard up." He had come to the side of the wagon as be spoke and stood with one band on the dashboard. "Is this a hold up?" said the stranger and, shifting bis whip to his left band, slipped the right behind him. "Steady, Bill," said (be tramp as be reached forward and caught the stranger's arm. "None of that. Your pocket- book isn't there; it Is in your breast pocket. I'll trouble you for it." "Curse you!" screamed the stranger. "Let go of me!" And he struck the tramp with nil his force across the head with the whip. The vagabond shrieked with pain and the next instant had grappled the stranger and with a remarkable show of strength drew him from the wagon and hurled him heavily to the ground « The startled horse ran a little way and then, turning sharply, started into a fence corner and stood there trembling. The tramp stood by the prostrate and unconscious man and drew from bis pockets first tbe loaded revolver and then the long pocketbook. He hastily opened the latter and assured himself that what be wanted was there. Then be thrust tbe book into his own ragged breast pocket and drew himself up. The stranger was rousing from bis swoon. Presently he sat np nnd looked around with a confused air. Tbe tramp, a few feet away, was quietly regarding him, revolver in hand. The stranger put his band to his breast pocket. "Curse you," he growled, "this Is highway robbery!" "You ought to know," said tbe tramp quietly. "It's one ot your leading accomplishments. Get up." The stranger arose. "Pick up your bat," said tbe tramp. "Now go and get yonr horse Into the road." He followed close behind as the stranger backed the light wagon into tbe highway. "I'll kill yon for this." the despoiled one snarled. "Don't trouble yourself," said the tramp. "Just climb into the wagon and start yonr horse. I'll see you off. Step lively, please." And he flourished the revolver. The stranger obeyed. He gave the tramp a look that was meant to be malevolent, and the tramp returned him a smile. Then he touched the horse with the whip and drove away. The vagabond watched until a curve In the road hid him from sight, and then be darted Into the woods again and swiftly retraced his steps. Presently he recrossed the ravine, and then he paused, ne slipped the revolver into an inner pocket and then took a slip of paper from the stranger's book. A moment or two later he knocked nt the farmer's door. It was opened by the farmer's wife. Her eyes were still red with weeping. "Thee here again?" she said. "Yes." replied the tramp. "I've come back to pay you for that good dinner." He pressed a little forward, ond she gave way before him, and he passed Into the house. At the window sat the farmer with his head bowed over a huge volume that lay open across his knees. He looked up wondering as the tromp entered. The vagabond raised his hand to his hat. and then remembered nnd let his hand fall again. "I am glad to see a little fire In your fireplace," he said, "because I want to add to It." ne moved a little nearer the window. "See. dear lady," he softly said, "here is your pay. Look, but don't touch It." Impelled by his earnest manner the woman came closer and glnnced at the slip of paper he opened before ber eyes. "Father!" she easpod. The old man started and arose with the book in his nrms. "What is it?" he asked. The vagabond pushed the note nearer hlra. "My note!" | he cried. "Wh-where did yon get It?" "I spoiled an Egyptian," laughed the tramp. "It tells about the process there." ond he pointed to the big book. "Now watch me." He stepped quickly to the fireplace and held the note io the flame until it wns entirely consumed. "Thank God!" murmured the old man. with a sigh of relief. "Thee hns been hurt." cried the woman; "there Is blood on thy forehead." "It Is nothing." sold the vagabond. "Tbere, you see. the debt Is paid. I won't osk for a receipt. You'll be troubled no more. Goodby." "Stay!" cried the aged couple In one breath. "No." snld the tramp. "I cannot stay. 'The Gopher' may be looking for me. and I wouldn't have him sec me here." "Antl why hast thsiu done this grent service for us?" tho old lady asked. "You were kind to me." said the tramp very softly, "nnd you made rae think of my mother. Goodby." And he wns gone. He hurried down to the brook in the ravine and. tenderly removing his hut, carefully bathed his wounded head. Then he started ngnifa for the woods. "I fancy the prnyers of thnt dear old lady will do me good," he said as he gave a hasty backward glance nt the farmhouse.—Cleveland Plain Denier. THE VALIANT LOVER.

"Tbere must be a girl In it," said John Locke as he took down his overcoat. "I never saw a fellow more anxious to get home nights than you are." "I do enjoy my evenings," laughed Elmer Stearns, "and I have a very pleasant companion." Then he walked away whistling softly to himself. Elmer Stearns had many pleasant acquaintances In New York, but so far only one friend. Elmer was a quiet fellow who stuck to his work while in the big counting room, but from the moment he left lt banished all thoughts of business and gave himself up to the enjoyment of his books, his pipe and his faithful friend, a pure bred pointer named Clover. He stopped for her now at a neighboring stable and the two went on together to bis boarding place. Mrs. Nubbs, his landlady, bad said "No" very vigorously wheu Elmer had a-pked if be might keep a dog, but after Clover had waltzed, stood In tbe corner and finally gone to her beseechingly ond made her best bow, all in response to Elmer's command, "Go and beg her to let you come, Clover," ber face relaxed and she said, "I never allow no dogs here, Mr. Stearns, so don't ever let me see that animal go in tbat door or over those stairs." Elmer was not obtuse and understood the emphasis on the word "see." He easily taught Clover to slip by blm into tbe hall and over tbe stairs at a bound, so Mrs. Nubbs never saw her come in, though sbe often shut the dining room door in order that she should not, aad she silently handed Elmer a brown paper parcel every nigbt which was always found to contain tidbits for the dog. City life was new and strange to them both, and though the dog found Interest nnd variety in the novel things sbe saw from the gate of tbe box stall where she spei ber days, and Elmer enjoyed doing the work be was fitted for. both felt a great relaxation when tbe day was over and they were together again. If the man wished to read or write without Interruption, the dog sat motionless by his'side, sometimes resting ber bead quietly on his knee to invite a caress. If the mon was pensive ond wished to smoke snd muse, tbe dog put her paws on his knee ond rested her head on bis shoulder, and thus they sat bour after bour. Her personal beauty would bave delighted any dog fancier. Sbe had a coat like satin, brown bead penciled evenly with white up the forehead, and on ber back was a well defined four leaved clover in brown, of which her brown tail formed the stem. The rest of her wss purest white. This odd marking explained her name. With this sympathetic companionship Elmer Stearns was content and rarely felt lonely during the long winter evenings. He kept early bedtime and spread a shawl on the foot of bis bed for Clover, and the two friends slept os only healthy, free hearted animals can. The winter passed, and one sloppy April day Elmer called at tbe stable for hia dog. Mike, tbe groom, came forward with sorrow pictured on his kind face. "I don't know anything about it ot oil, but the door must hev been unlocked. I've been here every minute of the day except Just two hours. I missed her about 4 o'clock, and I wolks over and looks In the stall, and the door was a bit of a crack open and no dog inside." Elmer went to his boarding boose to see if the dog bad been there, then back to tbe office and then to the police. Next day be advertised, and for many days he tried every possible means to trace the missing dog and finally decided she was stolen and beyond his reocb. The summer days droggad on. and the heat of the city became almost Intolerable. Elmer bad promised himself a vacation In tbe mountains, but hunting without Clover would be sorry sport. However, tbe weeks set apart for blm on lhe schedule of the great business bouse were at hand, ond he was wondering moodily what he should do with tbem as be walked to bis boarding house one sultry August day. As be neored tbe bouse be started suddenly, for on the steps sat a brown nnd white dog, gazing wistfully at him. (■ainlng bis room, he took tbe great dog bodily in bis arms ond hugged her tight, and they rolled and frolicked together on the dusty carpet. So Clover and her master took a two weeks' hunting trip, and they were short ond happy weeks. They returned together rather reluctantly and mounting tbe dingy stairway to the stuffy city room began to unpack. As they were thus occupied there came a sharp ring at the doorbell, which was answered by Mrs. Nubbs. She drew herself up stiffly when she faced a blue coated oflicer. "Docs any of your boarders keep a dog?" he queried. "Well, I fhoultl say not," she answered fiercely. "What sort of a house do you think I have here. One of my young men did bring o dog here, and I told him never to let me see a dog come Into this house. That was six months ago, and 1 ain't never teen a dog come In here since." "The man ond dog passed in here," ssld n young woman standing by the officer's side. So they Instlgnted tbelr search and In due time knocked ot Elmer Stearns' door. "There be Is!" cried the girl, and to Elmer's unbounded astonishment sbe rushed Into the room and began to lavlifc carriers on Clover. "There Is soinr mistake here," ha ra marked quietly. "May I ask why you manifest so much Interest in my dog?" "Your dog!" cried the girl. "I'd like to see you prove it." "Let the dog speak for herself," he suggested mildly. Clover stood looking trom one to the other with sad eyes. "Sit here, please." sold Elmer, "and I will go quite to the other side of tho room. Now we will call her together and see what she will do." "Clover, come here," the man said quietly. "Come, Lucky, Lucky," pleaded the woman. Clove*, stood with her tail and ears dropping. The woman was nearer. In passing her Clover stooped and allowed tbe girl to stroke her and even licked ber cheek. But the dog's eyes were on Elmer, and as soon as poslble sbe broke away and came to him. "You see," cried the girl, "she enme tome first your own proof Is against you. Let us go, officer. Come, Lucky." And placing ber hand on Clover's collar she led her out of the room and down the stairs. Elmer beard a cab door slam and sat down wearily, wondering what to do. He decided to wait quietly for tbe dog's return and watched eagerly each night for it. Two weeks went by, when John Locke Invited him to spend the evening at bis home. "It's a meeting of a little informal card club," be explained, "without constitution or bylaws. The host can invite one friend, and a sceond invitation makes yon a member." Elmer's evenings were long now; so, though he disliked cards, he went. He met 15 pleasant young people and among them Miss Esther Daly. He recognized ber instantly as the young lady who had claimed his dog, but she showed no sign of recognition. Before the evening was over he was head over heels in love. When a man reaches the age ot 30 without a love affair, he is apt to make a short cut of it. Elmer Stearns received an invitation from the next hostess and was thus installed a member of the Informal club. At the weekly meetings be met Esther, and soon they were on excellent terms. At Inst it was ber turn to entertain the club and there he met Clover. The dog was overjoyed and plainly showed her pleasure. Esther was surprised and said it was very unusual for her to show any interest In a stranger. As tor Elmer, he snubbed Clover unmercifully in spite of her joyful whines and manifestations of love for him. Clover thought It over sadly as tha gardener tied her rope that night, and she decided on o desperate course. She knew the way quite well now to her old master, though sbe had made it before In the daytime. The rope was a new thing since she had gone home before, and aha resented It. She set ber firm teeth ln It and man* aged to tear away a few shreds, but it was a big rope and she tore her mouth more than she did the rope. Then she strained ber collar and the metal edge cut her neck, but she strained hard and it came over her bead with a jerk and sbe was free. Elmer was awakened by a scratch oa tbe front door and ran down stairs without waiting for clothes. Clover slipped in up stairs in her old way and soon both were asleep. He telephoned Esther in the morning that he hud found Lucky and would bring her bock tbat evening. Clover's tail hung lower and lower as sbe found herself near her former home—for home it had never become to her—but Elmer urged her on. "How strange tbat she shonld hsva come to your rooms," said Esther, "and last night she seemed to be glad to see you. Have you some mysterious power over dogs, or"—and then came the gleam of recognition Elmer had always feared— "yes." she said breathlessly, "you are the man." He answered by calling Clover to blm snd putting her through many clever tricks. Then he told her frnnkly all about Clover, while the dog sat by whining dolefully and keeping on tbe side of bis master farthest from Esther. Tbe girl's cheeks burned h.n at ths clow of the recital. "Dncle Horry gave blm to me on the date yon Inst him, my twentieth birthday. 1 supposed be bought him, but be must bave picked him up on the street. Whatever shall I do to make it up to you?" "There is one way thst would mora than make up. dear." he said "I'll try," she whispered, "and you sball take Clover home with ynu till- then, and," sbe added, with laughing eyes.

"Besides tbe advantage of light." snld tbe business man on the top floor of a skyscraper, "we fellows on tbe upper floors have another advantage over tbe tenants on the lower floors.

The Wise Man's Theory and How It Was Exploded. "After ull," snld the wise man, "what la It but selfishness? The optimist who goes through life whistling and singing songs of cheer Is not entitled to any special credit, because lt is a pleasure to him to be happy. If It didn't make him glad to be happy, he wouldn't be that way. So you see selfishness lies at the bottom of his good cheer. "Then there Is tho pessimist. Is ho discouraged because ho thinks It Is his duty to mankind to paint dark pictures? Not at all. His Is another clear case of selfishness. He gratifies himself by being unhappy and trying to make others so. Love, too, Is selfishness. The maiden doesn't luve the man to make him glad. It's her own happiness that she promotes ln looking upon blm as tbe noblest work of God. Man'a love for woman bas back of lt the same selfish motive. "So, too, the philanthropist's love of the world. He loves lt and loves to do | great things for It because lt gives blm ' a satisfaction to know tbat be Is doing 1 well.

Among the stories that are retailed In the cloakroom of tlie senate wben that boay Is In session at Washington Is one of how William H. Crone, tbe actor, put tbe finishing touches upon his great chnructer study, "The Senator." "As you well know." ssld one of tha group. "Crone took bis character almost directly from Senator Plumb of Kansas. Crane bud just started out with The Seuntor' und hud opened In Washington. We bad nil seeu the per- t'liriimuce and liked it Immensely. But I thought 1 saw one defect Crane wore a high silk lint, which was not at nil. according to niy thinking.

Often* i times, however, thc ready wit and prus. enee of mind of nn actor or actress may snve the day ami turn what might oth- erwlse have been disaster into triumph. One of the most difficult of all Bcenes to carry oft successfully occurs ln the op. era of 'Siegfried.' You will remember that Siegfried awakens Brunnhiuii from her long sleep with a kiss. Wag. ner has so arranged It that the kiss seems as long to the audience as the Immortal slumber itself. In reality it lasts about 70 seconds, but It seems unending. It Is a most trying situation for the alngers. for the audience Ib ex. trcmely likely to grow restless. "Some years ago at a performance of 'Siegfried' In St. Louis Alvary—poor chap!—was singing Siegfried to Mme. Sucher's Brunnliilde. He hnd got about half way through his lengthy osculation when tbe gallery began a succession of smacks, constantly Increasing In volume. It wns a critical moment; but, ns the event proved, one tbat wns to odd to Alvery's already large wreath of luttrels. "Slowly he raised his magnificently handsome bead and turned toward the audience and silently looked tbe galleries Into silence, ln ten seconds be had completely innstered them, and j-oq could have beard a pin drop In the great houBe. Then be dropped his face on that of Briiunhilde, and tbat kiss went on to Its appointed and Bapuollke finish without further Interruption from the audience. It wns as tine na exhibition of the control a great personality can exercise over an audience as I have ever witnessed." RU After Dinner Speech. Tbere Is no field of mental effort la which success In Its most flattering form may be won quicker than on the after dinner platform. The man who can amuse and Instruct such an audi* ence, for Instance, as that wblcb as- semblea each year at tbe New England society dinner, perhaps the most critical In New York, may awake to find himself famous. A few hours before Henry W. Grady of Atlanta was to speak at the New England society's dinner ln 1SS0 a correspondent of a southern newspaper asked blm wbat he would say, and be replied: "Tbe Lord only knows. I have thought of 1.000 things to aay, 600 of wblcb If I say tbey will murder me wben I get back home, and if I aay tho other 500 tbey will murder me at tbe banquet" Tbe ovation wblcb tbe young, smooth faced southerner, almost unknown In New York, received at the dinner that nlgbt wben tbe last ringing senteuce of bis speech bad been spoken never bas been equaled on a similar occasion, and his fellow citizens at borne stood for hours In the rnln In crowds waiting to greet blm on bis arrival na tbe spokesman of the new south.

INDEBTEDNESS TO DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THOMAS ST. PIERRE, • lleislth Entirely Ite-Establlshed by Ootid'* Kidney I'llls —Another Triumph for Unit Wnisslerl'ul Hem. ily — His Eyesight hus been Strengthened, St. Epi, Quo., June 34.—(Special)— Oae year ago a miracle was announced ,n Chicago. R. A. Wade, the great .-riminal lawyer, regained hi* sight after having for years been totally olind. His ccuse was published throughout the length and breadth of America, and it attracted more action to Dodd's Kidney Pills than any medicine ever got before. For it was Dodd's Kidney Pills that restored his sight. A similar case has turned up in the village of St. Bpl, Quo. Though this sufferer was not stone blind, his eyes nevertheless were utterly useless lo him by lamplight. And they have been completely restored by Dodd's Kidney Pills, which is another point of similarity. There is no attempt made to assert Dodd's Kidney Pills are a cure for blindness. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the greatest kidney medicine ever known. That is thi claim made for Dodd's Kidney Pills, and there is ev'- dence enough to prove that claim. Dut in cases where Kidney Diseaso has left poisons in the blood, and the said poisons attacking the weakest spot, injure the eye, Dodd's Kidney pills are just as infallible a_s where the poison attacks the Joint of the arm or the small of the back. That the eyesight of Thomas St. Pierre was restored is but another argument that Dodd's Kidney Pills make the blood absolutely pure. Here is Mr. St. Pierre's letter : "I am happy today to see my health entirely re-established by Dodd's Kidney Pills. I owe that wonderful remedy a thousand thanks. Before using Dodd's Kidney Pills I had consulted many physicians and taken medicines of various kinds, but each made me worse. I had a constant pain in the back and limbs. At night I could'nt res', and I could not si*e by lamplight. Having taken on'.v two boxes of Dodd's KidneyPills I am perfectly cured. My eyesight is clear, I advise all those whose health is not good, from whatever cause, to tr;.' Dodd's Kidney Pills. Nine times ou'. oi ten they will be exactly what is wanted. Two dollars spent for Dodd's Kidney Pills will do mote than millions spent otherwise, for who holds anything in the world moro dear than health, or would spare ony means to save it ?

The soft political job is apt to fall to the man who fought for it rather than the one who s fit for it. Some persons have periodical attack*, of Canadian cholera, dysentery or diarrhoea, and have to use great precautions to avoid the disease.

There was a certain Major X. who had for some years enjoyed tho reputation of being one of the wildest men in India. Making a call on one occasion on a mess, he found Captain Z„ whom he wanted, out, but the moss waiter assured fflni that tbe latter would soon return, wherefore he waited in the anteroom. A few minutes later the mess sergeant, happening to pass the window, noticed to his surprise tbat Major X. had passed into the messroom beyond and was applying a tape measure to the mess table. Naturally considering this an odd proceeding, he mentioned lt later on ln the day to Captain Z„ who took counsel and then begged a favor of the colonel, which was to allow an Inch to be sawed off the table legs. In due course Mnjor X. was invited to dinner, nnd the mess was there to a man. As was expected, during dessert be contrived to lead the conversation on to guessing heights, and from that to offering to bet on the present mahogany wns but a step.

HAERISON OF ORANGEVILLE. She Was Completely Kun Down — Knckesl with Psslns. Its ths* Hack, Ilsnsl and Limbs —Again It jiiit'iiiK In Good Health. From the Sun, Orangeville, Ont. Many cases are constantly being brought to light by persons being cured by that wonderful remedy—Dr. Williams' Pink Fills—after doctors have failed to be a benefit. Among them may be noted tho case of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, a well known lady who resides in the near vicin ty of Orangeville, Ont. A reporter of the Sun hearing of Mrs. Harrison's wonderful cure, called at her home to inquire into the facts of the case. Mrs. Harrison said she was pleased to be able to testify to the great urative powers of these pills. She said: 'For some years I have been a constant sufferer. Just what to call my disease I do not know; even the doctors were unable to diagnose it. I was completely run down, I had racking pams in my head, back and limbs. I was unable to secure sound sleep, and on arising in the morning would feel as tired as before going to bed. My stomach was in a bad condition, and the least movement caused my heart to palpitate violently. Doctsirs' treatment failed to oz of benefit to me, and I was :'n a very discouraged state when a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thinking that they might relievo me a little I procured a supply and began taking them according to directions. From the first I cou.ci see that they were helping mc, an.l by the time I had taken half a dozen boxes I was free from the ailments that had made my life miserable. It is now several years since I took th3 pills and not the least sign of my old trouble has since shown itself. 1 would strongly urge the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for any person who has a weak or run down system and I am sure they will not fail lo toe beneficial." To those who are weak, easily tired, nervous, or whose blood is out of coniit'on, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills come as a blessing, curing when all other medicines fail, and restoring those who give them a fair trial to u full men*ure of health and strengtn.

Baring thus got rid of a crack, the harsh and discordant tones of the bell became soft and sweet Meeting a Presbyterian minister not long nfter, father Boyle called his attention to tho change, and the latter could scarcely believe It was the same bell. •'What In the world did you do to- that bell." Inquired the Presbyterian pastor, "to cause such a change in the tone?" "We blessed It and blessed It and blessed It until we got the Presbyterian devil out of It." retorted Father Boyle, "and then It sounded all right," The proprietor.-, of Parmelee's Pills are constantly receiving letters similar to the following, which explains itself: Mr. John A. Beam, Waterloo, Ont., writes: "I never used any medicine that can equal Parmelee's Pills for Dyspepsia or Liver and Kidney Oomplainte. The relief experienced after using them was wonderfnl."
